Here’s what we do, in a nutshell:

For this reason, SAMA focuses on providing objective, accurate, understandable information to all stakeholders.

SAMA strives for a quality assessement system that is:

accurate and up-to-date

based on professional standards

defensible

understandable

universal

cost-effective and easily administered

equitable, and

fair for all property owners.

It’s important to note what SAMA doesn’t do, because there is often confusion:

SAMA doesn’t make tax policy, and

doesn’t set mill rates.
